| cholestyramine | <chemical> Strongly basic anion exchange resin whose main constituent is polystyrene trimethylbenzylammonium as cl(-) anion. It exchanges chloride ions with bile salts, thus decreasing their concentration and that of cholesterol. It is used as a hypocholesteraemic in diarrhoea and biliary obstruction and as an antipruritic. Pharmacological action: anion exchange resins, anticholesteraemic agents, antipruritics. Chemical name: Cholestyramine (12 Dec 1998) |

| cholestyramine resin | A strongly basic anion-exchange resin in the chloride form, consisting of a copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene with quaternary ammonium functional groups; it lowers the blood cholesterol by binding the bile acids in the intestine, thus promoting their excretion in the faeces instead of reabsorption from the bowel; used in the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia, xanthomatous biliary cirrhosis, and other forms of xanthomatosis.

| cholestyramine r. |
[USP] a strongly basic anion exchange resin in the chloride form, consisting of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer with quaternary ammonium functional groups, having an affinity for bile acids, which it binds into an insoluble complex that is excreted in the feces, resulting in elimination of bile acids from the enterohepatic circulation and in increased oxidation of cholesterol to bile acids; administered orally as adjunctive therapy to diet in the management of patients with elevated cholesterol due to familial hyperlipoproteinemia, type IIa (patients with pure hypercholesterolemia), for the relief of pruritus associated with cholestasis occurring in partial biliary obstruction, and to treat diarrhea due to excess bile acids in the colon.
